Princess Cruises has revealed a new entertainment lineup for its Sphere-class ship, Star Princess. When it sets sail this October 4, the new ship will feature two original theatrical productions, a stargazing candlelight concert series, and more.
Performed in the Princess Arena, “Meridian” is a cinematic spectacle of longing and liberation, set to an original score and reimagined chart-toppers. The production is brought to life by BAFTA award-winning creative director Dan Shipton, choreographed by Kieran Daley-Ward and produced by Ross Nicholson. Against a backdrop of glittering masked balls and roaring engine rooms, the luminous collision of high society and hidden truths brings noblewoman Arabella Dovewood’s windswept destiny to life.
Also in the Princess Arena, guests can enjoy “Illuminate: A Spectacle of Joy.” Set to a multi-generational pop score by Kola Bello, “Illuminate” is choreographed by Jay Revell, who also co-directs the production alongside show producer Ross Nicholson. The show invites audiences into an immersive experience that shines a light on the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.
“Viva La Música” returns from premiering on Sun Princess, choreographed by Latin American talent Liz Imperio, known for her work with Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Gloria Estefan. Featuring Latin soundtrack favorites such as Camila Cabello’s “Havana” and Santana’s “Oye Como Va,” this high-energy celebration brings the rhythms of Latin America to the sea.
Entertainment on Star Princess reaches beyond the theater, from vibrant deck soirées under the stars and lively Piazza celebrations to a reimagined champagne waterfall with a sparkling twist. Guests can dance to live music, mingle at themed events or simply soak in an atmosphere that comes alive after dark.
The “Candlelight Concert Series” will take place in the glass-enclosed Dome atop Star Princess, where guests can enjoy live performances that blend cinematic storytelling with musical artistry.
“Princess Jamz” is a 45-minute sound spectacular that showcases the talents of the 15-member Princess World Orchestra, led by the cruise director. Set in the heart of the ship, this live performance can be enjoyed in the Piazza.
Also taking place in the Piazza, guests are invited to experience the “Celestial Champagne Soirée,” a multimedia celebration under the stars, premiering exclusively aboard Star Princess. This evening event dazzles with immersive light, sound and visual storytelling—all culminating in Princess’ traditional Champagne Waterfall.
The 4,300-guest, 175,500-ton Star Princess, sister ship to Sun Princess, sets sail on October 4, 2025. Built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, the ship will debut an inaugural season across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panama Canal and Alaska. Voyages are on sale now.
